Using Cocoa Animation Objects

The NSAnimation and NSViewAnimation classes provide sophisticated behavior for animations that occur over a finite length of time. Mac OS X uses animation objects to implement transition animations for user interface elements. You can define custom animation objects to implement animations for your own code. Unlike NSTimer, animation notifications can occur at irregular intervals, allowing you to create animations that appear to speed up or slow down.

For information about how to use Cocoa animation objects, see Animation Programming Guide for Cocoa.
